Brett Thompson scored an impressive century as he helped Winton secure a draw at Stretford.

The hosts won a vital toss and made an imposing 275-5 thanks to an unbeaten ton by overseas star Eweerts.

In return, Winton collapsed to 26-3 before Thompson shored up the innings thanks to partnerships with Leon Dewitt (21), Ric Johnson (30) and Andy Walker (31no) as Winton ended on 224-8 for a losing draw and 11 points.

The second team couldn’t quite get the final wicket as Stretford held on for a draw. Winton posted 214 – James Hulse again top scored with 59 with contributions from Damian Grundy (29), Nick Stacey (34), Jonny Nuttall (28) and skipper Matt Talbot (29).

Neil Fairhurst (4-30) removed the first three batsman with only four on the board. Damian Grundy (2-10) and David Marchment (2-40) worked hard to reduce the visitors to nine down with 12 overs remaining but Winton couldn’t find the vital breakthrough.

The third team fixture was a straight forward affair as Danny Seenan (6-23) bowled the home side out for 38, Winton knocked off the required runs in 11 overs for the loss of two wickets.

The Under 16s were defeated at home to Deane & Derby.

Harry Powell took 3-1 for the Under 14s in their defeat at Bury, with Harry Stevenson making 51.
